doctl is missing for handling spaces and it’s a bit a pity there is not so much github actions for digitalocean.

( I know that s3cmd is the way to go but not working as expected for digitalocean )

ISSUES:

  • Slides is not a public link
  • “Was this helpful” NO button just makes the screen lock up.

The link for “GitHub Action for DigitalOcean - doctl” is not correct.

It points to: https://github.com/features/actions, instead of: https://github.com/digitalocean/action-doctl

How do you deploy to DigitalOcean with GitHub Actions to an existing droplet? This Tech Talk shows you how to deploy your GitHub repository with GitHub Actions by creating a new droplet, but it would cost me way too much money if I have to create a new droplet everytime I wanted to deploy. Furthermore I have a Nginx proxy server setup on my droplet which I want to use my docker containers
